Jacques Herb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Voordat jij de deur toeslaat
't Spijt me wat ik heb gedaan
Zo kan ik je niet verlaten
Ik kan zo niet naar huis toe gaan
Ik heb haar 't rug gezien
Ik ded verkeerd misschien
Want toen ik haar zag staan
Daarvoor wil ik met je praten
't Spijt me wat ik heb gedaan
Zo kan ik je niet verlaten
Ik kan zo niet naar huis toe gaan
'k Dacht dat ik haar was vergeten
Maar ze keek me droevig aan
En nu na die vele jaren
Heb ik spijt dat 'k ben gegaan
Daarom wil ik met je praten
't Spijt me wat ik heb gedaan
Zo kan ik je niet verlaten
Ook kan zo niet naar huis toe gaan
Ik heb haar t'rug gezien
Ik deed verkeerd misschien
Want toen ik haar zag staan
Ach, was ik toen maar weggegaan
Daarvoor wil ik met je praten
't Spijt me wat ik heb gedaan
Zo kan ik je niet verlaten
Ik kan zo niet naar huis toe gaan
